WITH ANOTHER weekend of no fixtures we managed to get a friendly away to Portsmouth.
Ironically Kirsty McGee, our skipper and club secretary, organised the fixture is also from Portsmouth.
I guess she just fancied a weekend at home…
The friendly allowed players who hadn’t been playing regularly to get some game time and also for the team to work on certain formations and game plans for the upcoming game away to Manchester City (August 28).
The game was pretty one-sided with us dominating possession and taking an early lead through Helen Ward.
She then went on to get a hat-trick within the first half, although resisted taking the match ball home as she said it was flat.
Such a diva.
The game finished 5-1, disappointing to concede but a good run-out and a great chance to get some more game time under our belts during yet another frustrating break within fixtures.
We were missing a certain someone for this game, although you couldn’t tell to be honest.
Our centre-half Kylie Davies was preparing to become a married woman.
Sunday became too much of a risk to take a ball to the face or a graze to the knee so she decided to stay at home.
Who has a wedding on a Monday? But then again if you know Kylie you’d imagine it to be her.
Most of us girls made the trip to Croydon to celebrate her tying the knot.
On arrival I didn’t recognise her, she’s not one for make up or going out but she was on Monday.
She looked stunning, props to the make up artist, must have taken her hours.
Jokes aside I would just like to thank Kylie and Charlie for allowing us to be a part of their wedding day, for a lovely evening and we wish you both a very happily ever after.
It really was a perfect day for the perfect couple and from everyone at the club we wish them all the best in married life, I think Kylie is going to need it.
PS – The cake was lovely (I had 4 slices).
So the Premier league has started and I feel pretty smug as my boys (Man Utd) were off to a flyer.
If you haven’t put your money on them yet it’s not too late as you know I do love an ‘I told you so’.
This week has been a very quiet week at training as half of the squad are international superstars and are away with their respective countries.
Massive congrats to all the girls, I know they’ll be doing us proud but hurry back we miss you.
